Okay, I think I've got this figured out. Can someone check my working? https://imgur.com/a/GVdsG7r Color key: Green: Apple set-top box Yellow: App for Apple set-top box Orange: App for other Apple devices Red: App for third-party devices Yellow/Orange/Red stripe: App generally across all platforms Violet: Integrated external subscription content Blue: Apple subscription content Violet/Blue stripe: Content generally R…

See also: Apple TV (disambiguation) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_TV_(disambiguation) Original programming for Apple TV+ seems to be very good. First three episodes for the "For All Mankind" (scifi) are good so are the three episodes for "See". The "The Morning Show" seems to be very good although I'm not in the target audience.

You're thinking of Haskell. Apparently it solves all the problems.

Netflix refers to a company, an app, a third-party app on some Smart TVs, and a subscription service, but people don’t generally get confused. Consistent branding isn’t necessarily a bad thing. That said, Apple’s support for third-party Smart TV apps is actually quite unusual IMHO; this really reduces their usual control over quality and experience.

Is it really inconsistent branding, though? To me, every one of these Netflixes is the same: the Netflix on my phone, tablet, TV, games console, and the website are all the same product . For Apple TV, however, the exact same name is used to refer to multiple different products and experiences: the device, the app on the device, the app on different devices, and many of these experiences differ significantly.

Microsoft has gone through some pretty dark times w.r.t. naming stuff. Up there with "Windows" everything and absurdities like ".net Passport" was their unslakable thirst for "Active." ActiveX, Active Server Pages, Active Data Objects. However, none of it holds a candle to IBM's mania for making everything "Websphere."

naming things definitely isn't there strong point having to click the "start" button to shut down your computer is probably the most illogical one. and somehow it managed to stay that way for 15 years until someone got the bright idea to just but an icon there instead "microsoft windows phone 7 series" was a mouth full compared to "apple iphone". luckily they changed that soon after but its crazy to think of the amou…

Hotmail is the spammy one. Live is the one for gaming. Outlook is the business one.

Except outlook is the app you install on android or iOS to access your Outlook.com personal email, which is really hotmail, but not to be confused with outlook web access, which is the web interface to exchange’s mail. There’s also the outlook that’s part of office 365 for windows, which is “the business one”, except it is also in the office 365 personal edition, which you are not allowed to use for business, and tha…
